What year? 02-03 have the thermistor in the MAF sensor housing. The others don't, but there is what looks like a provision for one. It is the Intake Air Sensor temp probe. If it goes bad, then your ECU will pull timing. Basically it reads intake air temperature, and adds or subtracts timing depending on temp. 02-03 in the sensor housing, others aren't.

try this next time you fill up.
The PROPER way to calculate MPG is:
1. Fill tank completely
2. Reset speedo
3. Drive as far as you feel like, doesn't matter much
4. Re-fill your tank completely
5. Record miles driven between #2 and #4
6. Record Gallons you put in tank at #4
7. Divide Mile reading you got at #5 by Gallon reading you got at #6
EXAMPLE:
1. Fill tank completely done
2. Reset speedo 0 miles
3. Drive as far as you feel like, doesn't matter much 200 miles
4. Re-fill your tank completely done
5. Record miles driven between #2 and #4 200 miles
6. Record Gallons you put in tank at #4 8 Gallons
7. Divide Mile reading you got at #5 by Gallon reading you got at #6 200 Miles / 8 Gallons = 25 MPG
This is why these threads fail, no one has a bloody clue how to calculate their mileage, and everyone throws out numbers.
